Soul

"What is the soul but life in latent suspension? The motion exhibited in matter shows that its soul is ever present; and yet there are men of great learning, as taught in the schools, who, after spending their lives in researching all forms of matter, deny that all living things depend on one everlasting Creator and Ruler, in whom they live and move and have their being through all time, as much as when He first breathed into them the breath of celestial radiation; and to whom they are as closely allied, still, by the workings of the great cosmical law of sympathetic association, as when the evolutionary work of creation commenced.

"The ancients were far better schooled in spiritual philosophy than are we of the present age. Their mythological records, in their symbolical meaning, prove this fact. They recognized this latent element as the very breath of the Almighty; the sympathetic outflow? of the trinity? of force, the triple spiritual essence of God Himself. Their conceptions of Deity were greater and truer than our own. From them we learn that when God said 'Let there be light,' He liberated the latent celestial element that illuminates the world: that when He breathed into man the breath of life, He impregnated him with that latent soul–element that made him a living and moving being." Clara Bloomfield-Moore, The Veil Withdrawn

"The soul is an individual, individuality, that may grow to be one with, or separate from, the whole. The spirit is the impelling influence of infinity, or the one creative source, force, that is manifest. ...spirit is the life-giving force in every condition, whether of mental or material action." Cayce (5749-3)

"There is a vast deal of difference between spiritual and soul forces, for, as given, each force there has been set guards or bounds. Spirit forces are the animation of ALL LIFE giving life-producing forces in animate or inanimate forces." Cayce (900-17)

"Let's not confuse the terms soul and spirit, for they are not the same." Edgar Cayce, in a speech in Washington DC, February 3, 1935

"We have many phases of mind. We have the mind of the spirit consciousness, of the physical sub-conscious?, or soul. We have the mind of the physical body, through which any or all of these may manifest." Cayce (900-21)





"These conditions, mind of the soul, mind of the physical body, mind of the spiritual entity, are separated, that one may gain the knowledge of its action." Cayce (900-21)

(Q) Explain the law of the line of demarcation between soul and spirit.

(A) This is one, yet distinct - even as the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit is one..." Cayce (5749-3)

"... the subconscious mind ... never forgets, and is the... mind of the soul ...." Cayce (5756-4)

(Q) "Explain what the divide between the soul and spiritual forces is? How manifest, and how we may study self to gain the approach to that divide."

(A) "This (is) of the spiritual entity in its entirety. The superconscious (is) the divide, that one-ness lying between the soul and the spirit force, within the spiritual entity. Not of earth forces at all, only awakened with the spiritual indwelling and acquired individually." Cayce (900-21)

"Immortality is of the Soul..." Cayce (900-147)

Cayce taught that Mankind's great spiritual struggle revolved around the issue of division:

"... the Cayce source was struggling against all kinds of dualism, all efforts to make the split between matter and spirit, between God and creation, between reason and revelation, into cosmic splits rather than conveniences of thought. The Swiss psychologist Carl Jung? has suggested that most dualisms are rooted in an unhealthy separation of spheres of the psyche?, of consciousness and the unconscious, of Ego from a deeper Self." Harmon H. Bro, "Edgar Cayce on Religion and Psychic Experience", p.237.

(Q) What form of consciousness does the entity assume after Death?

(A) That of the subconscious consciousness, as known in the material plane, or the acts and deeds, and thoughts, done in the body, are ever present before that being. Then consider what a Hell digged by some, and what a haven and heaven builded by many." Cayce (5756-4)
